You Know What is Worse?

You know what is worse than bathing suit shopping…shopping for a bathing suit while you are pregnant. Seriously, it was awful. And it wasn’t awful like how it normally is where you just want the bathing suit to look better…because let’s  face it ,the bathing suit you have on while you are pregnant is never really going to look normal. The upsetting part about the entire experience was that even though I know I am getting bigger, I don’t necessarily feel “huge” yet but any means. When I had to try on those bathing suits it basically forced me to do what I avoid just about every day and that is actually look at my whole body in the mirror. So I bought a bathing suit (at least it was on sale) since I will be needing one this summer, it is black and white with flowers…maybe I can hope that like so many other black colored clothes the bathing suit is “sliming” LOL. I never quite knew what Erin meant when she would say how (during pregnancy) she all of a sudden hated shopping. It’s like the worst of two evils…we need clothes, but going through the process is so much more exhausting than normal shopping and inevitably you end up with the one thing that looks “less bad” than the others you tried on.  I have to say though maternity clothes have come a long way and our generation is very lucky compared to what our moms had to wear. After the whole shopping for a bathing suit experience I leave you (particularly those who are pregnant or have been recently and can relate to what I am about to say) with one question…How do fat (and I am not referring to pregnant woman) buy bathing suit on a routine basis? I forever feel perplexed by this concept.
